The Trump administration will not renew Biden-era grants worth $1 billion that were aimed at boosting mental health services in schools, a Department of Education spokesperson confirmed to ABC News.

"These grants are intended to improve American students' mental health by funding additional mental health professionals in schools and on campuses," Deputy Assistant Secretary for Communications Madison Biedermann wrote in a statement to ABC News. "Instead, under the deeply flawed priorities of the Biden Administration, grant recipients used the funding to implement race-based actions like recruiting quotas in ways that have nothing to do with mental health and could hurt the very students the grants are supposed to help."

The decision comes as the Trump administration takes sweeping action to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs and alleged racial discrimination practices in schools. However, multiple courts have blocked efforts to ensure schools certify compliance with the administration's demands.

The department said the grant programs were not advancing administration priorities. Conservative activist Christopher Rufo lauded the administration's decision to discontinue the programs, alleging they intend to advance "left-wing racialism and discrimination."
